‘He just couldn’t stop doing good’
Posted by: Group in Uncategorized 21 hours ago

Dressed in the Holy Child College, Ikoyi, uniform, a young girl sat in a white chair on the balcony of the late business gaint’s Victoria Island home, sobbing.
She was consoled by a man. A woman on her left also wept, using her handkerchief to wipe her face.
The pupil, Precious Obiekwe, after regaining her composure, said she learnt of Chief Molade Okoya-Thomas’ death when her parents came to pick her from school.
Miss Obiekwe did not just lose her benefactor in Okoya-Thomas, she also lost a friend who “couldn’t just stop doing good”.
She told The Nation that the deceased, who was no relation of hers, saved her from leaving Holy Cross School in JSS1 and had since then taken up her education as his responsibility.
Her words: “In 2009, I met him with my family in church. Prior to that meeting, we did not know him at all. We went to church (Holy Cross Cathedral) and he just called on us to come.
“It was at a period I was about to leave Holy Cross College for another school. He asked me the school I attended and I told him Holy Child College but that my parents were making plans to move me to Reagan.
“He said he wanted me to continue in Holy Child, that he liked the school and that he would henceforth be responsible for my education.
“I am in SS 3 now and a boarder and he has been the one footing my bills. He has been providing for me and he even promised to send me to Canada for my university education because I said I want to study medical sciences.
“I called him on Christmas Day and he sounded weak and told me to pray for him that he was not feeling too well, which I did.
“I sent him a text on New Year’s Day and he replied. We also spoke on phone and he told me he was getting better but that I should keep praying for him.
“I am pained now because I did not speak with him again until my parents came to school this morning to tell me he had passed on.
“I cannot use words to describe him. I just know that he was a very good man. He couldn’t just stop helping. He was just very good.
“We did not know him from anywhere. He just saw us coming to church and he called and asked me for my school. I attend children mass regularly and I also answer questions in church. Maybe that was where he knew me.
“I just do not know what to say but I know that I will miss him greatly.”
